KANSAS CITY (AP) -- The Kansas City Chiefs will open their regular season September 9 against the Atlanta Falcons, and get their first shot at Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in November.

The NFL released the schedules of all 32 teams Tuesday night.

Kansas City visits Buffalo and New Orleans after its opener, then plays San Diego and Baltimore at Arrowhead. The Chiefs visit Tampa Bay in Week 6, with their bye the following week.
